We have never seen more than 9 stamens ; Roxburgh, however, describes 
and figures 10. 
815. (4) D. sissooides (Graham:) arboreous ?, glabrous: leaflets 5-7, alter- 
nate, elliptic-ovate, with a short bluntish acumination: panicles axillary, 
branched, lax, about half the length of the leaves: flowers on slender 
shortish pedicels: calyx-segments oval, obtuse: stamens 9, all united into a 
sheath open on the upper side: ovary stalked, 4-5-ovuled, glabrous: style 
straight, a little shorter than the ovary: stigma small.—Graham ! in Wall.!

oval, emarginate, with numerous fine parallel diverging veins, when young 
pubescent on both sides: petiole and peduncles pubescent: racemes axillary, 
densely fascicled, compound, short, corymbose ; pedicels very short: calyx 
at length nearly glabrous, 5-cleft ; segments roundish: stamens 9, all united 
into a sheath open on the upper side: ovary glabrous, stalked: style slender: 
stigma small_— Graham ! in Wall.! L. n. 5872—Neelgherries ; Noton. 
The only specimen in Dr Wallich’s collection is an exceedingly imperfect 
one; and we hesitate very much to separate it from D. rubiginosa ; the 
flowers, however, are more dense, the calyx, although at first very pubescent, 
becomes during flowering nearly quite glabrous, and the upper surface of the 
leaflets are dull and pubescent, while we have observed them glabrous and 
shining in all states in the other: the stamens ate not more than 9, whereas 
in D. rubiginosa, Roxburgh describes and figures 10, but on that we are not 
inclined to place much reliance. 
817. (6) D. rubiginosa (Roxb. :) trunk woody, climbing: leaflets 5-7, al- 
ternate, oblong or oval, obtuse or retuse, with numerous fine diverging paral- 
lel veins, when young minutely pubescent on the under side, when old gla- 
brous : petioles and peduncles pubescent: racemes fascicled, axillary, com- 
pound, short, rather lax ; pedicels very short: calyx pubescent, 5-cleft ; seg- 
ments short, oblong, obtuse: stamens 10 (or 9%), all united into a sheath 
open on the upper side: ovary glabrous, stalked: style slender: stigma 
small.—Roab. Cor. 2. t. 115 ; fl. Ind. 3. p. 231; DC. prod. 2. p. 416; Spr. 
syst. 3. p. 193 ; Wight! cat. n. 924.——Circar mountains. 
Our specimens are nearly in the same state with those of Roxburgh : the 
fruit is unknown. We have seen very few flowers in an examinable state ; 
in one we counted 10 stamens, in others we could not perceive more than 9. 
b. Stamens equally diadelphous (5 and 5). 
818. (7) D. volubilis (Roxb.:) twining: leaflets about 5 pair, alternate or 
nearly opposite, oval, obtuse, glabrous : panicles terminal and axillary, > 
branched, spreading : calyx pubescent, 5-cleft: vexillum with a large callo- 
sity at the base of the limb, reniform-cordate: stamens 10, equally — 
phous: ovary slightly pubescent: style slender: legume stalked, linear-o s 
long, obtuse.— Roab. Cor. 2. t. 191 ; fi. Ind. 3. p. 231; DC. prod. 2. p. 4175

819. (8) D. paniculata (Roxb. :) arboreous : leaflets 5-6 pair, alternate, 
obovate hon or oval, Satie EN glabrous, minutely D enin 
underneath with veins: petioles and peduncles pubescent : D tows 
or axillary, compound, spreading: calyx pubescent or hairy; 5-cleft, on 
segment longest and narrowest : vexillum without callosities, as long aie 
ale and twice as long as the keel: stamens 10, equally e e dE 
glabrous: legume lanceolate, usually 1- (sometimes 2-) confie Wall !
